>> well, governmor romney has to get this debate focused on policies. obama's policies and the failures of those policies. and his alternatives and why they would do better. there's been virtually no talk about that in this campaign. if this campaign turned to that, that's hugely to romney's advantage and that's what he needs to focus on. >> to make that work, does he have to give out more details wednesday night? >> it's interesting to me to hear you guys talk about details. i didn't any of that in 2008. what barack obama said my plan will lower the health insurance for the average american by 25000. kaiser announced last week, since obama care was adopted. family insurance premiums have gone up $3,000. but nobody asked, well, now, senatoobama, how are you going to do that? it's not normal. it's not normal. >> i think all of us are talking about that mitt romney needs to shake up this race and change the dynamic. the poll numbers show that's the case. as i said previously, it's likely to change anyway even with a modest debate performance. because this
